About our bath resealing in Yelden

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms

What affects the price in Yelden

There’s no charge for travel to Yelden. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Yelden get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Yelden questions

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Do you need bath resealing in Yelden?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Common reasons people in Yelden contact us are:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
